SCANPET – wifi scanner

You can configure SCANPET to work as a wifi terminal. Use your mobile device as a scanner that automatically sends the barcode read to your PC.

This is very useful because you can scan the barcode and it’ll automatically appear in your Word, Excel or any other application on your computer, even if you aren’t near. All you need is a wireless signal.

SCANPET has a SCAN button on main screen that will show you these buttons:

Connect WIFI

WIFI scan

First press Connect WIFI and after the connection is stablished use WIFI scan to read a barcode and send it to your PC.

Connect Wifi

If the Wifi is not active in your mobile device, this option turn it on, and if already active attempts to connect to the VNC server installed on your PC. Later we will explain how to install and configure a VNC server on your PC

Wifi scan

Once the communication between the VNC server on your PC and SCANPET is stablished, this button is activated. It transfers from SCANPET to your PC the barcodes. If you notice that the barcode isn’t transferred, please read HOW TO SOLVE guide at the end of this document.

Now go to SCANPET Preferences Screen. Find the Wifi section and enter the same port and password you have typed on the PC. Also input your computer IP address.

If you don’t know which is computer IP address, you only have to leave the mouse on the UltraVNC icon in the taskbar, and after a second four numbers separated by dots will be shown. Example: 192.168.0.101. This is the IP address to enter on SCANPET.

After completing these steps you are ready to connect SCANPET and your PC.
